-Salvador Dali-
Chanced upon salvador dali's work when i took his melting clocks as inspirations...and i found a load of his interesting works!
Talking about picasso, when i look at his paintings i go huh~ i know picasso got the RED and BLUE period.. but to me they look like abstract till cant abstract...
Salvador dali on the other hand, he paints images that actually reflect theories and his own views... lets check some of his drawings out!
Presenting the FAMOUS "The Persistence of Memory 1931-Persistencia 1931-"aka Melting Clocks
Here Dalí introduces his melted watches. He said that they are nothing else, but the Camembert cheese of space and time; tender, outlandish, solitary and critical-paranoiac. An interesting explaination how wonderful pieces of art dipicting deep thoughts and theories are actually derived from a nap, a clock and a piece of melted cheese!besides the famous melting clock painting which dipict the theories of memories and time, Salvador Dali has continuations to his edition of melting clocks.. this is what i find fasinating about his art!
"The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory-Desintegration'52"
“…After twenty years of immobility, the soft watches are themselves dynamically disintegrating...” Here, Dali broke the images of its famous painting “The Persistence of Memory” (1931). During the last twenty years the painter has been affected by the consequences of several wars, particularly by the destructive use of the nuclear energy.Lastly: the end episode of the melting clocks- "Eplosion 1954"
This represents the idea of the dynamical disintegration of one of his most characteristic elements, the soft watch... it's interesting how the melting clocks began to "explode" in his continuing editions of the paintings... it's easy to see how the clocks reflecting the use of arms and nuclear issues that were brought up... quite a nice reflection of how artists get inspirations from current issues... From a plate of cheese, a nap, and a wall clock... it was transformed by a pair of hands to a famous artpiece...And from the painting, after twenty years, the artist decides to continue the edition and created another contrast, disintergrating it... and yet the last explosion of the timepiece... slowly the political issues start to get in his paintings. Truly a great Artist and Artpiece as inspirations.. an a great lesson learnt.
